ADVICE

Choose Food Based On Comfort Not Appearance

  • Do eat what you actually want and prioritize comfort; if salad makes you uncomfortable choose something else.
  • John suggests embracing being a “mammal” eating leaves or quietly switching to a sandwich when you need discretion.
ANECDOTE

Professor Power Moves By Eating Loudly

  • Sarah recounts a grad school moment when a famous professor loudly ate a huge salad in the front row.
  • She framed it as a power move: lean into looking ravenous rather than apologizing for eating.
ADVICE

Present Yourself To Boost Interview Confidence

  • Do what makes you feel confident for interviews; dress and present yourself in a way that reduces nerves.
  • Sarah recommends minimal makeup if it helps (e.g., a bold lipstick) but avoid anything that makes you feel like a clown.
